My partner and I spent two years in the UK adoption process, putting countless hours into preparation, training and intrusive interviews, only to be rejected for superficial reasons. It really isn’t as straightforward as everyone makes it out to be.

“…as the chances of conceiving five babies without fertility treatment are 60 million to one…”

So what do you call donor insemination then? I’d call it fertility treatment myself. Sounds like a badly monitored IUI cycle which went highly awry. Multiple births are far more common in IUI than IVF.
